An almost 8-foot tall can sculpture of the clock tower on Worth Avenue won an award for best design, but is pushing for more recognition.

The clock tower is one of the 7 sculptures participating in this year’s charity art exhibition, Canstruction 2017, at The Gardens Mall to benefit the Palm Beach County Food Bank.

The tower is made up of close to 4,000 cans of food and built by employees of Kast Construction and GliddenSpina & Partners. It won Best Original Design, but there’s still the People’s Choice Award up for grabs.

So far, a manatee made by Leo A. Daly and The Weitz Company and a bear built by The Honda Classic, Peacock + Lewis Architects and Hedrick Brothers Construction are leading the race prompting the Worth Avenue Association to ask its members to vote for its sculpture through June 17. The winner will receive a $250 Gardens Mall gift card.

Mall guests can vote for their favorite design by taking a photo and posting it on Instagram with the hashtag #1Vote1Meal @thegardensmall.

The 23,675 cans used to build the art exhibit will be donated to the food bank once it’s finished.
